Thank you for visiting Believe in Yourself Counseling. I work with children, adolescents, and adults.

I know how hard it can be to take the first steps in starting the journey to a happier, healthier, and balanced life. Whether you know what you want to work on, aren’t sure what the problem is, or just feel as if something is missing, we will work together to create a safe space where positive change occurs. I believe the power of the therapeutic process is the relationship and trust we build together. When you feel safe and can be open and free of judgement, the real healing begins.

To make sure we are good fit and you feel we can have a healthy therapeutic relationship, I offer a FREE phone or in person consultation.

Thank you for taking the steps in caring for yourself and your family – You deserve to overcome what is holding you back from being your best self.

My work with teens seeks to empower them in building their own identity, creating positive supportive relationships, and acquiring emotional regulation and coping skills that will serve them for the future. Navigating the challenges of the “In Between” place of childhood and adulthood comes with its own unique set of struggles. Adding pressures of school, sports, friends, family, social media, and peer pressure during this time can feel overwhelming and unmanageable for both teens and parents. I use an engaging interactive approach with teens to foster creative expression and growth including; art, music, writing, and movement.

My interest and passion for working with helping mothers stems from my own experience with burnout, anxiety, fear, and compassion fatigue. I was sick of hearing the same old self-care techniques of “yoga” or “bubble baths” (while I love both, I found I needed something more!), so I began my own journey of finding balance, establishing better boundaries, and exploring resources and relevant research on being the best mom I could be without losing myself. As well as learning to be a step mom without losing my mind.

I enjoy helping mothers learn how to be “their version” of the best mom without sacrificing their own well-being and mental health.

I am passionate about helping children because I know they don’t possess the verbal or emotional skills to express what they are feeling. Often anxiety looks like anger. Whether your child is explosive, withdrawn, struggling in school, or you noticed a change in behavior, counseling is a great place to start working on the communication and building self-regulation skills. I use an engaging and interactive therapeutic approach with children that includes: play therapy, games, movement, art, music and sand tray work. Most kids who visit my office tell me that counseling in “fun” and are excited to share what they have learned at the end of the session. I’m a former Elementary School counselor who loves to incorporate fun social skills that will stick with young children.

I have a long history in aviation and I understand the challenges people in this industry face. Whether you are pilot, flight attendant, ticket agent, or maintenance worker, let me help you manage the stress and demand of your job. I also offer a low rate for those wishing to do private pay for confidential reasons.
